Change Management

While most will agree that “change is constant,” most people struggle with change at both the professional and personal levels. At Pivot, we follow the ADKAR model, a commonly used change management approach.

For change to be accepted the following approach to change management should be incorporated into the process.

Awareness – of the need for change

Desire – to support and participate in the change

Knowledge – of how to change

Ability – to implement the change

Reinforcement - to sustain the change

Our consultants can help you implement change strategies and create a culture where change is easy on everyone because our process is inclusive, answers the all-important “well what about me and my function” issues and eliminates the feeling of “being left behind.”

Environmental Scan

We will lead you through an objective review of your business environment, your industry and your place in it. The analysis can be as broad or as deep as you require (or are willing to pay for). We’ll guide you through a comprehensive approach, help you conduct an objective review of your existing data, and help you evaluate which “missing data pieces” will offer you the best short or long term return on your environmental scan investment.

PESTLE

A PESTLE* analysis is a framework used to analyze and monitor the factors that have an impact on your organization at the macro level. The results are used to identify organizational threats and weaknesses that are summarized and evaluated in a SWOT and SoWOT™ analysis.

Internal Review

Our consultants can lead you and your team through a facilitated exercise to build the SWOT and SoWOTTM analysis. The results of this exercise help you identify your organizational strengths and weaknesses.

SWOT and SoWOT™

The SoWOT™ analysis is a trademarked process developed by Pivot Performance. The process makes it easier for your team to match available [or acquirable] resources and capabilities to the competitive environment in which you operate. It is instrumental in strategy development as well as the selection and ranking of your tactical options.

SWOTInternal factors in the organization are classified as strengths (S) or weaknesses (W). Those external to the organization are classified as opportunities (O) or threats (T).

SoWOT™The SoWOTTM is the systematic review of the SWOT results where you align strengths and weaknesses with opportunities and threats to maximize the impact of your actions.
